Combined Electro-Dermal Screening Tester and Microcurrent Pulser

       

Synchrozapper also called Bio-Electric Resistance Test and Treat (BERTT) with test & treat probe and grounding handle is effectively two instruments in one.  The toggle switch on the probe is switched by the operator once a suitable acupuncture point has been identified by its high conductivity (low resistance). In the "test mode", the instrument identifies acupuncture meridian points using electrodermal testing and quantises the energy with the sensitive digital meter (0-1000) and an internal audio oscillator. In the "treat mode", the gold-plated probe treats with microcurrent, the intensity of which is controllable from 0 to 2000 microamperes (2 mA).  Simultaneous pulsed light is emitted from the probe. Our experiments have indicated that this is an Intention Imprinted Electronic Device (IIED) such as described by Dr William Tiller

Biophysica scientists have developed a new extremely sensitive meter (0 to 1000) to detect fine, subtle, changes in the autonomic nervous system and to feedback an inverted resonant vibrational signal to the human or animal in order to correct imbalances.

The BERTT is similar to a Syncrometer, also spelled synchrometer or electrodermal testing (EDT).  It is a measuring device similar to the Vega to detect subtle energy changes in the electrical resistance of an organ, skin, plant, animal or other partially conductive tissue by varying the frequency of an audio oscillator and displaying the change on a digital or analog meter and can be heard on a speaker inside the BERTT.   Due to limitations in older electronic circuitry such as Wheatstone Bridge, the frequency range available has historically varied from 1 to 1000 Hertz.  Biophysica's tester has a carrier frequency which varies from 1 to 10,000 Hertz which represents a ten-times increase in sensitivity over prior technology and also contains a microcurrent zapper pulse stimulator circuit.

Technology:

1)  Testing Mode: Our proprietary bioelectric impedance electro-dermal tester (synchrometer) is used to produce a tiny electrical current, too small to be detected by the patient. The current is run through a probe which is touched to the patient’s skin to specific locations on the body to measure the flow of current to that area. 

2)  Treatment Mode:  When the operator switches over to "Treat" mode, an electrical oscillator outputs a stream of pulses each pulse having a standard width of 320 microseconds (the optimal width for acu-stimulation; other widths are a custom option).  The repetition rate (pulse frequency) is swept (frequency modulated) around a central frequency switchable by the user between three frequencies ranges:  1) alpha (10-12 Hz),  2) Zapper frequency of 3.2 Kilohertz  3)  32 Kilohertz.

Biophysics:

It is thought that the person's autonomic nervous system responds to signals and influences from higher centres and in turn modulates the electrodermal response.  The small electrical changes in the body modulate the frequency of a carrier oscillator inside the synchrometer and is displayed on a meter. 

Uses:

Many practitioners claim that the BERTT can help detect energy imbalances in the body, select specific treatments, measure the progress of therapy, and even detect disease before it becomes apparent. They claim that  the BERTT is helpful to find allergies, organ weakness, parasites, heavy metal intoxication, dietary intolerances, pesticide burden, and nutritional deficiencies.

This kind of testing may be done by a homeopath, acupuncturist, naturopath, allergist, chiropractor, or other practitioner. The BERTT sends a very small electrical current through a probe. The patient may hold two hand-held rods, or a grounding rod in one hand, while a second test probe is touched to another part of the body. This completes a low-voltage electrical circuit, and a digital or analog meter reads out a number between 0 and 100. This may be repeated at many different places on the skin. The numbers are used to decide if the patient’s vital energy is out of balance.

If the patient is being tested for a type of treatment, samples of various remedies may be tried as the probe is touched to the problem area. Remedies may include homeopathic liquids and dietary or vitamin supplements. Different substances are tested until one is found that ”balances” the energy disturbance. For regeneration and detoxification, toxins and waste byproducts frequently block the body’s immune system to such an extent that it is no longer able to react to natural therapies. Therefore, the individual must be thoroughly detoxified before treatment can proceed.
 

Method:

Energy runs throughout the body coming to the skin’s surface at various “points” along the way.  Electrodermal Screening (EDS) provides information about the health of the body via electrical measurements of the skin at various meridian points on the skin. Then each information ampoule is placed into the test loop, witness well or plate. This allows determination of specific response to the contents of the ampoule regarding the status of your health with respect to that specific substance.

Historical: 

Health practitioners had available several such devices based on Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) such as:  Vega or Vegatest (new is $35,000), Dermatron, Interro, CEDS, EAV (Electroacupuncture according to Voll), Accupath, Biotron, Computron,  DiagnoMètre, Eclosion, Elast,  LISTEN, MORA, Natrix Physiofeedback System, Omega AcuBase, OmegaVision, Orion System, Prophyle, Punctos III, and Vitel 618, bioelectric functional diagnosis, electro-homeopathy.

Biophysica Synchrometer Characteristics:

·        True rectangular pulse with 25 nanosecond rise-time providing monophasic (positive polarity) or biphasic (alternating polarity) signal.

·        Microcurrent variable output intensity levels from 0 to 2000 microamp output at 9 to 15 volts.

·        Choice of 3 frequency ranges 1) Alpha (10-12Hz)  2) Zapper frequency of 3.2 Kilohertz  3)  32 Kilohertz.

·        Frequency Modulation on all frequencies. Frequency is scanned at Schumann Resonance rate (7.8 Hz).  This is because a static frequency is thought to be potentially toxic.

·        Sensitivity control can be varied to detect subtle fine responses.

·        Battery 9v (industrial quality) supplied.

·        12 or 15 volt wall adapter can charge the battery while powering the unit for continuous 24/7 use.

·        Test probe is gold-plated and has rounded tip with cavity to hold liquid samples.

·        Test probe has extra coiled extension cable.

·        Digital meter display of energy levels can indicate energetic imbalances.

·        Output to drive light pen, laser pen, magnetic coil, piezo acoustic transducer, skin electrodes.

·        Output to plates, well, antenna or other energetic instruments.

·        Skin stimulation (TENS) electrodes or pair of hand rods are available for bioenergetic level assessment and stimulation.

·       Light on probe can be any other colour.  White is best for general use. pulsed light is better.

  

Switching from diagnostic test mode to treatment mode is done using a foot switch or the test & treat probe .  The metal handle/rod is a grounding electrode for the client to hold in one hand while the probe is exploring for acupuncture or other points. A speaker inside the unit emits a high pitch from 1 to 10 kilohertz when a suitable point or an autonomic response is detected.

The Sensitivity circuit detects micro-variations in body signals by using an extremely sensitive and linear amplifier which is 10 times more sensitive than older non-linear Wheatstone Bridge, Vegatest, Electro-Dermal testing (EDT), electro-acupuncture according to Voll (EAV), and Synchrometer circuits.  These older techniques were not only non-linear but could only provide a limited  acoustic test range from 0 to 1 kilohertz.  The Biophysica EDT provides a range from 1 to 10 kilohertz.  The body signals are called Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) and are thought by psycho-neuro-immunologists to arise by modulation of natural electric potentials through the patient’s own autonomic nervous system.

The Microcurrent stimulating output is a very abrupt onset (25 nanoseconds) rectangular pulse waveform at 9v (battery) or 15 volts (adapter).  The highest frequency is 32 kilohertz recommended for zapper applications.  All 3 frequencies are modulated (FM) or swept around the chosen frequency based on the principle that a dynamic changing frequency is more therapeutic than a static frequency.  The sweep rate is 7.8 hertz which is the Schumann resonance frequency of the Earth.  The probe switch can turn ON the output for continuous 24/7 use when it is desired to flood an area with a shielding, therapeutic field of energy.

But he kept observing correlations between the images and the patient's disease. He decided to take pictures and keep notes. The result was a substantial body of hard evidence demonstrating what alternative healers using muscle testing, electrodermal screening, and "psychic" diagnosis have been claiming for years but could not prove because their techniques were operator-dependent -- that disease patterns can be diagnosed from the energy fields of the body."
